Summary: Don't Litter or Twilly Will Come For You!
Review: This is an excellent thriller filled with tension, laughs and exceptional characters. I had never read a Carl Hiaasen novel before but will look for his other books after this sensational read. This novel is similar in style to a Dean Koontz thriller with a psychologically disturbed hitman, faithful dog, and likeable characters and you just can't put it down until the last page. Just buy it!

Twilly Spree inherited a lot of money and instead of investing it in his father's real estate development company spends his time defending mother nature from thoughtless slobs and environmental vandals. If he sees you throw a lit cigarette, aluminium can or other rubbish out of your car window he will come after and teach you a lesson. If you intentionally harm wildlife, he will intentionally harm you. One thoughtless slob named Palmer Stoat infuriates Twilly with his blatant disregard for the environment with rubbish constantly flying out his car window so Twilly decides to teach him a lesson. Stoat is a rather dim witted slow learner so Twilly decides to kidnap his dog until he mends his ways. Twilly quickly discovers that Palmer Stoat is a corrupt politician who will destroy the ecosystem and all the inhabitants of Toad Island in return for developer's money. He must stop this at all costs but politicians, evil Barbie obsessed developers and their deranged hit men will go to any lengths to develop Toad Island.

Summary: Quite entertaining, another Hiaasen success!
Review: Evidently my mind works well with the writings of Carl Hiaasen. I thoroughly enjoy each of his works, usually can't stop reading them until the final page is turned. His imaginitive escapades, intelligent storylines and "the bad guy always gets his" mentality are just a few of the enjoyments Carl delivers. As with all of Hiaasen's books, this one provides suspense, witty dialogue and, of course, a wonderful environmentally-sound tale.
As always, a great job Mr. Hiaasen!
